In my opinion it's foolish to forgo nearly $1 billion in future revenue (if not more taking into consideration the future Riverfront NIZ project needs) over the next several years. This while at the same time borrowing to meet the state's own financial shortfalls.

Some may argue it's an investment in our future hoping to produce greater revenue for the state.

Question is, should Pennsylvania taxpayers assume the risks involved with speculative commercial private development ventures?
OR..
Is this simply another example of government pork barrel spending?

Until 10 or 20 years rolls around there can be no financial certainty in all of this no matter who says or promises what.
